PARTNERS IN MISSION
Ang Ligaya ng Panginoon (LNP)
Ligaya ng Panginoon (LNP) is a family-based transparochial covenant community in Metro Manila, Philippines which grew out of the vibrant charismatic renewal experience of the early 70’s.
Starting out with 41 men and women in July 1975, the Ligaya now counts some 1,900 members (including children of all ages) from diverse socio-economic backgrounds bound by the common desire to live out the Christian life to the fullest and to serve the Church as a body.
At present, Ligaya’s apostolate centers on the evangelization and community building, with a special emphasis on service to the poor – an involvement affirmed during the Second Plenary Council of the Philippines.
The Ligaya belongs to the Federation of Transparochial Communities in the Archdiocese of Manila. Together with its Partners-In-Mission, Ligaya Ng Panginoon is a member of the Council of the Laity of the Philippines.
The Community is a founding member of the Christ The King Association , an international organization of Catholic covenant communities, and of The Sword Of The Spirit , an international association of ecumenical communities committed to evangelization and Christian unity.

We seek to share with the poor the Good News of God’s love and the hope it brings, of freedom from oppressive structures and oppressive values, of transformation towards being responsible citizens of the country and faithful servants of the Kingdom, of empowerment towards self-sufficiency and service to community.
Our continued operation is entirely dependent on contributions, and we appreciate any financial help.
Word of Joy Foundation (WOJ)
The WORD OF JOY FOUNDATION is a publication ministry engaged in reprinting and distribution of inspirational reading materials and instructional references on spiritual formation and development. It was established by Ang Ligaya ng Panginoon Community in the late 1970s as a response to a great need for resource materials on spiritual growth and renewal in the Christian life.
Word of Joy aims to draw people closer to Jesus by providing reading materials that help establish and deepen their personal relationship with the Lord and build a stronger foundation of faith.
Women for Christ (WFC)
Women for Christ is a group of lay women from different walks of life who desire to have a renewed relationship with God. It was initially intended for widows, but realizing the needs of other women who wanted to join the group, it was expanded to accept women whose husbands are not yet interested in community life, single mothers, separated wives, and even mature single women. The Women for Christ have members in many parts of the country like Samar, Cebu, Leyte, the Bicol region, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Rizal and many parts of Metro Manila numbering almost three thousand.

FAMILIA
FAMILIA is a family life movement dedicated to bring about Christian renewal and to strengthen family life by establishing parish-based Christian communities. It draws its inspiration from Familiaris Consortio – the exhortation of Pope John Paul II about the role of the Christian family in the modern world. Familia is run and led by lay people who are actively serving their parishes.
